Watching Moure even for a few minutes and that's easy to see. He's all arms and legs. Facing him would be like trying to wrestle a 6-foot-2 version of a grasshopper or a Daddy Long Legs ? not fun.

"He really has learned how to use his height to his advantage. You think of most wrestlers as short, stocky, muscular guys," Rollins said. "It started to click with him how to use his reach some last season, and this season he's really taken off with it."

Moure didn't start out that way.

"I wasn't that great as a 103-pounder," he said.

Moure, though, has come a long way from competing in 103 as a 5-4 freshman with size 10 shoes to a 6-2 senior now. But there's no big secret to his success.

"Every offseason, he shows up. Every day in the summer time," Rollins said.

That has paid off this season. On Feb. 6 in the Panthers' final dual meet of the season, Moure pinned Oroville's John Shoemaker in 1 minute, 19 seconds after Moure already had built a 5-0 advantage.

The Eastern Athletic League championships went just as well for Moure. In the EAL 138 final, he faced Paradise's Markham Odell, who at 37th was the lone Northern Section grappler to be ranked in the weight class in the state by TheCaliforniaWrestler.com. That didn't matter. Moure beat Odell 4-2 in the final on a reversal with 1:20 left in the match.

Moure credited much of his success from the mat time that has come with his own teammates, including Cordero Rios and Jerome Munoz.

As a junior, Moure was a win away from placing at the Northern Section Masters championships, and he wants more than to place this season. First off is the Division I meet Saturday at Oroville then the Masters, and if all goes well, the state tournament in Bakersfield.
